"being incapable though is not equivalent to being in denial"*
So...If we cannot see...if we "don't know"... (nothing to do with intelligence) is that an aspect of incapability?

frick, defined by a Dictionary.com, Disposition - person's inherent qualities of mind and character.
Also, Inherent - existing in something as a permanent, essential, or characteristic attribute.
I guess here, I am wondering how it can be a characteristic attribute (something that can be changed) and also be permanent???

teatree, I tend to agree with this; based on my own actions, I can't, at this point but see denial as anything BUT ego.

mfranch,* said; "I was constitutionally incapable of honesty until I wasn't."
I like this. Makes sense to me at this moment.

Yes, tomsteve, I was referring to the BB. I too, would like to see where you found that IQ is associated with incapability, thank you.

These are just quick thoughts with regard to your responses. I am open and willing to see this from every viewpoint.

Thank you all for being here and contributing to this conversation. It is really very helpful to me!
